I really liked this product. This is the best foundation ever invented. It is a sheer, 4-in-1 high-pigment powder that multi-tasks as a foundation, concealer, powder, as well as a high SPF of 15. Philosophy the Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas conceals, camouflages, and provides SPF protection. There is no visible line of demarcation and no unpleasant odour. Applying leaves no mess at all due to the packaging of this product. Applying is very easy due to the incredibly fast and easy-to-use sponge applicator. It comes with a very soft sponge attached to the top. The minerals flow from the bottle through to the sponge. To apply you just have to swirl the super-soft sponge all over your face. It does really feel like airbrushing and is done in a simple, quick step. You can also easily wash the sponge, or simply buy replacements from the company. The foundation is very lightweight and suits all skin types because it is talc-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, water-free as well as oil-free. It is a high-pigment powder having a talc-free foundation that makes your skin smooth silky and satiny. It really gives a nice finish and also lasts all day. Your skin gets a sheer, natural coverage and has a smooth, finished appearance. It makes my face look absolutely pure and flawless. I found out the beige is perfect for my skin. The shade blends well onto the face. I have problem skin and some scarring, along with dark circles. But the coverage is very good – it is not sheer, but also not cakey like most mineral foundations. The staying power of this foundation is wonderful. I simply love it! There is absolutely no need to hesitate while purchasing this. In fact I am sure you also will love it. Enjoy Philosophy The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas.

I bought Dr. Feelgood impulsively after seeing Eva Mendes in a magazine looking all beautiful and the article said that to get the look, wear dr. Feelgood alone to mattify your skin while keeping it natural-looking. Dr. Feelgood is really a great conditioning balm with a light, fresh scent. It works well under or over makeup. I love cosmetics, so I purchased this product, and I have yet to regret it. I use it after applying my makeup in the morning, then once or twice again through the day as a touch-up. I love the way it makes my skin feel, and I think for me personally it really has helped with my skin’s condition. It gives a velvety complexion with a feel-good finish. It mattifies my complexion and reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores. It is enriched with vitamins C and E. This product really makes your natural skin look great. It makes all those fine lines disappear and any shine and makes your skin feel great. The scent is sort of lemony and strong on initial application, but it fades almost immediately and lingers in a very nice way. Some tips for applying: You should apply less, applying too much makes you look slimy. You should change the sponge frequently as oil and dirt from old applications can go back on your face. Wash the sponge gently with soap and water after every use; it will extend the life of your sponge. Blot on Dr. Feelgood then smooth, do not smear it on. You can wear it under or over foundation, but I find it more effective when worn under make up, just after applying moisturizer. It acts as a make-up primer by smoothening skin. Bottom line, I really like this balm, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to compact powders.

After seeing first hand how Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals improved my sister’s skin, I really wanted to try the foundation for myself. I’ve seen the ladies using Bare Minerals on television and I thought that it looked like it did a great job, but I was a little skeptical about it working for my skin.

I have patches on my cheekbone areas that are sometimes quite hard to calm down with a foundation. My sister has problems with dark areas under her eyes and this stuff worked like a charm to bring back the alive look to her eyes. So, I thought I’d give Bare Minerals a try and see if it could do the same miracle for my face blemishes. We are sisters, but we have different skin tones, so I needed to get some in my own skin tone to really see for myself how good it would work for me.

Fortunately, there are several different shades available in the Bare Minerals Foundation beauty line, including these popular shades: Dark ,Light, Medium Dark, Medium Tan, Medium, Warm Deep, Deepest Deep, Warm Tan, Golden Medium, Golden Deep, Golden Dark, Fair, Fairly Light, Medium Beige, and Tan

I chose the fairly light shade as it seemed almost identical to my skin color. The problem I have with my light skin is that every little imperfection and blemish really seems to stick out on me. I have problems especially with my cheeks where red blotches form for no apparent reason at all. Bare minerals is almost invisible on the face, but give excellent coverage while looking very natural. It conceals blemishes almost flawlessly as well without looking cakey or giving a orange line. My skin looks flawless. Just make sure you get the color that most perfectly matches with your skin and neck tones otherwise you might look blotchy. I repeat again “CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHADE OF COLOR”. If you are unhappy with the way this foundation looks on your skin and you hate it that means you have got the wrong shade, get one that matches your skin tone.

After wearing this foundation I got so many compliments from my family for how nice I looked. I took only 30 seconds to wear this foundation and my skin felt so natural as if I was not wearing anything on my face. It feels so light and silky as if I was wearing no makeup at all.

I have to confess, as hard as I am to impress, Bare Minerals really went the extra mile in giving me a renewed and blemish free appearance. Seriously, after just trying a sample application of this foundation when I first got it, I was like WOW, it made me take a second look at myself. I was very pleased with the way it made my face look. It evened out my skin tone and my blemishes seemed to disappear right before my eyes.

I have also heard that it helps clear acne. Many woman claim that it cleared their face from acne and see dramatic decrease in breakouts.

A lot of times our makeup looks great when we first put it on, but then an hour later we feel like everyone is watching it fade away from our face as we feel it become stale. What I discovered with Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals is quite different. The application is light and natural, yet it is long lasting and never makes you feel like your face just fell off.

Another important benefit for all of us ladies is the fact that Bare Minerals Bare Escentuals Foundation provides us with protection from harmful sunrays that can cause cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 is formulated right into this wonderful foundation. That’s something that I can appreciate with my sensitive and fair skin, but all of us should be aware that sun protection should be used when we are going to be exposed for any length of time. I absolutely love my Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals SPF 15 Foundation.

Cons
It has bismuth oxychloride which may irritate some skin types.
